Rest in Power Albert Woodfox.

Poem by Julia Wright

"The spirit of Black August moves through centurie

"The spirit of Black August moves through centuries of Black, Indian and multi-cultural resistance. It is an emblem of the spirit of freedom. It is a long smoldering spark of the fire in the hearts of a people, hearts burning and yearning for freedom."
-Mumia Abu-Jamal, "Black August 2003" 08/05/16

We received another call from Huron Valley highlig

We received another call from Huron Valley highlighting another incident of prison staff violence. Shelton Coleman was struck by a Gator maintenance vehicle two months ago and they report that the driver continued to harass them after the incident.

Call in to Huron Valley and let them know that incidents like these are unacceptable and need to be investigated. Write in to the brave callers that have risked a lot by reaching out to us. If you have resources and connections in Michigan, let them know what is going on. We can't let their voices go unheard.

Incarceration contradicts the foundations of repro

Incarceration contradicts the foundations of reproductive justice. There is no such thing as reproductive justice inside prisons, and the fight for reproductive justice will always be incomplete in a world that still has prisons.

Learn about how the fall of Roe V. Wade connects with the prison-industrial complex.

Kevin ‘Rashid’ Johnson, an activist, writer, v

Kevin ‘Rashid’ Johnson, an activist, writer, visual artist, and one of our correspondents, recently learned that he has prostate cancer. He needs our support.

Rashid is incarcerated in Virginia and has been held in segregation since 1993. A freedom fighter inside, he co-founded the New Afrikan Black Panther Party, which was later reconstituted as the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party. He is a leader in the liberation movement.

Rashid wrote the article below–shared with us by the SF Bay View Newspaper–about his diagnosis, and the labyrinthine and torturous road called “healthcare” inside prison. Please read Rashid’s story, demand that he receive medical treatment (contacts and template below), reach out to him, and share his art, which graces the top of Prison Radio’s website.

We are going to be printing these cards, but if you'd like to support Kevin ahead time, feel free to use these images and print your own.
